The effect of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on the proliferation of normal and tumor mouse mammary epithelial cells in primary, serum-free, collagen gel cell culture was evaluated. LPA stimulated the growth of normal mammary epithelial cells from mature virgin mice. The growth of pregnancy-dependent tumors (PDT) was generally stimulated, although the response was attenuated in some of these tumors compared to normal cells. In contrast, the growth of 70% of ovarian-independent tumors (OIT) was inhibited by LPA; the remainder were unaffected. LPA stimulated cAMP accumulation and phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis in normal, PDT, and OIT. Thus, the regulation of adenylyl cyclase and PI-specific phospholipase C by LPA is similar in normal and tumor cells. Pertussis toxin (PT) partially inhibited LPA-stimulated growth in normal cells but did not affect LPA-stimulated PI hydrolysis or cAMP accumulation. Thus, PT-sensitive and -insensitive proliferative pathways are activated. PT also inhibited LPA-stimulated growth of PDT but generally had no effect on the growth of OIT. These results show that the mitogenic response to LPA is attenuated in the hormone-dependent phenotype and switches to growth inhibition in hormone-independent tumors. Furthermore, LPA stimulates multiple signal transduction pathways mediated by PT-sensitive and -insensitive G proteins. The PT-sensitive pathways are not tightly coupled to the proliferative response to LPA in tumor cells. These data suggest that alterations in G protein function may occur during tumor progression.
